25 Parallel Worlds Created by Photoshop Master Michal Karcz

Born in Warsaw, Poland, artist Michal Karcz began his visual journey with a paintbrush and canvas. As a painter, he says he developed "a vision that was hard to create with other visual techniques"--a vision he eventually brought to photography and digital art when those became his medium of choice later in life.

Nowadays, Michal busies himself creating parallel realities, often devoid of people, often post-apocalyptic, always haunting on some level.

Wherever they come from, they are spectacular. Detailed wide-angle shots of 'parallel worlds' devoid of humanity, reclaimed by nature... or aliens... or darkness itself.

As for his inspiration, Michal writes:

I can tell that music has the biggest impact on my work. It's an inseparable element with pictures in my mind, a kind of sound illustration to a visible scenery. These two things hit me with the strongest intensity.
